FROM ZAMBIA TO COLOMBIA! 👉🇨🇴🌍🇿🇲👈
It is like the Zambian Super League league giants Zesco United saw into the future when they pioneered the physical distancing pose on September 2, 2019.
When the African club football powerhouses shocked football fans worldwide with this proudly Zambian invention which totally deviates from the more traditional pre-match photo arrangement, little did we know that society would soon be hard-hit by a coronavirus crisis.
Exactly one year later on September 2, 2020, caught up in the midst of this COVID crisis, the Colombian football team La Equidad has emulated Zesco United's unique innovation.
Whether by design or pure coincidence fueled by the unprecedented pandemic is another matter altogether but truth be told, societal hiatuses brought about by global disasters often turn out revolutionary.
We always knew that it would take something drastic for certain aspects of Zambian football — especially at club level — to go global.
Surely, what can be more dramatic than a novel viral outbreak that has literally turned the Earth on its head? Well, here you go! From Zambia to Colombia, Zambian football has gone global in the arguably the most astonishing of fashions!
